With much gratitude … Sadhu Anumodana! … Rejoicing in your generosity.

Daily running costs

Sponsoring the cost of a utility bill – gas or electricity – is also most helpful… If you would like to do so, you can email us at santioffice@gmail.com to enquire further, or donate directly into the General Acc. (follow ‘DONATE’ link below) and reference it “Utilities”. Thank you.

Any contribution towards the daily running costs of the monastery helps to keep Santi going on a very practical level and is always much appreciated. To donate, please click here: DONATE

Santi and the environment

As a forest monastery bordering Morton National Park we strive to minimize our impact on our environment. We support Bundanoon in its “bottled water – free” town campaign – so please do not offer plastic bottled water to the monastery. We have filtered water for drinking here. We encourage minimal plastic use and waste, (although with the covid situation we realise it is often best practice to use disposables for a short time), and we try to recycle as much as possible.

At Santi we have an environmentally friendly grey water system, which cannot handle harsh chemical detergents, so please try to offer only ‘grey water safe’ dishwashing liquids and laundry detergents (preferably liquid), as powder doesn’t go well in our machines.

Thank you kindly. We appreciate your support in our efforts to keep a green monastery, an eco-friendly environment, and our waste systems healthy.

The Spirit of Dana

Please note that in order to keep alive the spirit of reliance on alms food, we rarely use any of the money donated to the monastery on food, unless necessary, or if money is specifically donated for this purpose.

“Acts of generosity lead to joy.
Joy leads to peace,
Peace leads to insight,
Insight leads to Liberation.”

Sadhu! Sadhu! Sadhu!
